the dems are not willing to make a deal and want it to appear to be the republicans fault

I think you're right and wrong. I think Dems want to make a deal, they just want THEIR deal. Why don't the Democrats give up the estate tax? Why don't they at least try to presently address a few things in SS, Medicare, etc. instead of saying "Oh well we'll tell you what we want to cut later". That just doesn't hold water.

So Republicans have blocked everything possible for four years and suddenly it's the Dems who won't deal. Compromise doesn't mean one side capitulates and the other gets everything they want, you know.

Patiently waiting for someone to bring back sax solos and keytars non ironically.

Dems have been demanding Reps concede on all fronts for four years. Failure to do so is labeled obstructionist.

Absolutely!

But you say it is because of the Democrats demands...That is only half the story and you know that. The GOP in the house has/is refusing to let any bill from the Senate be openly debated on the floor...Cantor and Boehner have earned that title! That is all they have done for 2 years. trying to paint it any other way is just BS! Plain and simple
